100+ GW Solar PV, 282+ GW Wind Power Globally

Renewables are still powering along globally, even in the face of flip-flops on support and other financial, political and regulatory challenges in some nations. ¬†¬†¬† According to the¬† European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA), the world‚Äôs cumulative solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity capacity eclipsed 100 gigawatts by the end of last year. This will generate as much electricity as sixteen 1GW coal power plants or nuclear reactors and avoid 53 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
